due to a new goal thats popped up, and thats being debt free minus my tlx and mortgage. i stored the car away, lowered the insurance, and now she will just sit while i search for some parts and pay stuff off. sold my hayabusa today so that made a BIG cut in the mtn of debt i accrewed since i bought my house last year.

also grabbed a personal box as my birthday present which is next week on the 11th

How much for that head? Is that off the last db2?

Glad to see you back in another 2nd gen and that it seems like you're approaching this one with more patience than the previous cars. Like many of us you can't seem to stay away for too long, I think you just need to hang onto this one through the tough times. Definitely a super clean platform to start with and could be easily restored to completely OEM specs or easily tastefully modded without having to do a ton of repairing.

I have to ask though, was that you who created the first thread about this car?

Either you bought it off the guy which i doubt it since you state 1 owner out of, bought in Colorado.

white wheels on that aztec green look ssoooo good.

what damage did you find on the other one? Must have been pretty bad to scrap the whole project.

found structural damage in the front end. where it was crashed and they tried to straighten it back out, car had also been t boned as well.. so it wasn't worth it to me to continue with that project..

this one should be pretty nice when done. and yea that idiot who got it for his teenage daughter was a total tool bag. i'm glad i got the car off his hands, and didn't have to pay the bullshit price the dealership he tried to sell it on consignment at.

If the car was on consignment at a dealership, they need proof of ownership in form of registration or title before allowing it for sale. That person who started a thread about this car isn't the original owner. So at this point, there's at least 4 people we can assume to have been a registered owner of this car: The original owner, auction house, alleged tool bag, and you. You dont need the title to be the registered owner of a car.

While the car may be physically legit, the story behind it sounds like ducktales. But whatever the case, just make sure not to overtighten the rear wiper delete plug on this one.

the whole consignment thing wasn't as legit as you think. they are friends. i have even done it myself. the car was not registered when i got it, it was registered to the auction house. it also did not sale from the dealership he had it sitting at, i found the car locally and bought it from that douche who made the post about it previously. which was never even registered to him. just the auction house
